Painting

I'm painting a picture
with the colors inside me.
Black, for the sorrow I've felt.
Red, for the love he gives.
Yellow, for my curiousity.
Green, for my earthy humor.
Purple, for my creativity.
Blue, for the tears I've cried.
The splatter painting
on the wall is a jumbled
mess of emotions.
Just like me.
I clean off the wall
and put all my colors
back inside of me.
I bottle my emotions
back up where they have been
for three years.
There they are and
there they stay...
Forever.
